Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Forvia to a friend?
No
What advice would you give to others applying to Forvia
Understand the working environment and department before committing. I am sure that the placement scheme can be very good for others. But in my experience I felt as if the working environment left me vulnerable to doing menial tasks a lot of the time due to staff shortages or unprecedented events.
